T all fwiom t may concern? Be it, known that l, THOMAS CHARLES listener,e cit'sen of the United States, residingl Spokane, in the county ofSpokane and State or' l/Vasliiiigtoo, have invented new usefulimprovements in Glaziers Point-Setters, which the following is especiiicetiori.

This invention relates to improvements in gleziers point setter-s.

is one of the objects of this invention to 'provide al point set-terwhich 'is capable volf setting oiiits in e sasli oer or the like in suchspaced relation with lrespect to the glass as to avoid breakage.

further object is to provide e point setter capable of setting points inangular relation to the glass, and also7 in spaced relation with respectthereto.

Further objects 'and features of the iriveilH tion will be more fulldescribed in connecF tion with the accompanying drawing and will. bemore particularly pointed out inV and .by the appended claims.

reference designate tlie draw Y v As shown, invention includes a. freineprovided with e. point holder having; a vertically eloneaed chamber 2 inwhich n y superi* oscd points 3 may oe oisposerl *with one corner inadvance.

Thel'rame isalso provided with n liaiid grip 4 Wliicli is formedintegral with the holder l, ily means of e. connecting portion 5.Depending from the hand grip 4. is a supporting leg' 6 adjust-ablyconnected with a tilting block 7. which may ne dove-tailed in theA leg(l so as to lie vertically slidalole with respect thereto. 7i. set screw8 may be employed to lock the .traine and tilting block from movementa/Wey from :in adjusted. position to tilt the holder l., or

rather its delivery end,v at any desiredangle freine parallel positionWith respectto the glass. A,

The delivery endo the holder is designeted at 9 and l prefer to disposea liardcried Wearing plate between said end and the driver,'to taire up4weer, said plate 10 having mi opening l1, sliepedto conform toy the typeor' point used. The driver is provided With e point engaging end l2'which is slidable beneath the wearing plate l) and preferably bend upthe margins 13, ofthe driver' to slidalljA engage the edges' of thewearing plate and the sides of the holder i, as clearly shown in lEig.(i. The terminal of the driving end is jawed, as indicated at le; toengage the rear corners o`tlie points when the latter descendthrouglrthe Wear ing plete into the plane or"V the driver.' ll',

will be clear thzit tlrie jaw of the driver will always be held inregistry With the delivery opening of the Wearing plate.

The end of the driver l2, remote fromthe jewed end, is' connected with,a driver head le liavinga rod which is slid'able irren opening oi'elongated form in the leg 6, ae indicated at 16. Said rofl also extendsthrough. an elongated opening 1i', in the tilting block spring i8 is'interposed between the' head 11i and the leg 6 to normally advance' the.driver toward e delivering position-- The top o'f 'the head le', isprovidedvwitli ai] adjustable release plate 19 which is shown `pivo'ted:it 20 to said head. A spring 21, secured to seid release plete i9,engages the head and normally acti to tilt the foriverd end of the plateope-'ai v. Slet serein74 22. threaded into plate i9. rf lie set againstthe head 'le' to limit tilting movement of the release plate. 1

An rexpansively acting:

a stud Q8 so that its vfree end will engage a noiclied portion Q9 andnormally act to re-- turn the leverfirom the. positionl .shown in 2, tothe position sho-vn in Fig. l. The trigger lever is provided with etrigger 35 disposed beneath the driver.

which is adapted for engagementwith the end of the release plate 1.9, asshown in Fig. 2, to retract the driver 1Q.. -Retraction oi Athe driver12 hrill compress sprinsgso that When'trigger 30"releases plate ii?,spring 18 4. will advance the driver int-o a delivery posi-- tion. Thetrigger' may then Abe advanced over plate 19 by spring 26, depressingplate 19 s as tolassume engaging relation with l0 the end thereof.

VVhenwa driver is advanced along or upon theglass in a. manner to drivethe point into the-sash vin close parallel relation with the glass, tlieoperation of driving the point a' almost invariably results in cracking4or nicking the glass thereby causing serious loss.l It is not essentialthat the points be 4driven close to the glass so as to engage the sameas these points merely serve to hold the 20 'glass until the putt isapplied. y

' Now itis one o the features of this inv vention to elevate the tool sothat the points will be driven into the sash in spaced re lation withrespect to the glass so as to permit the putty to be squeezed betweenthepoints and the glass and ,thereby forni a cushion and reduce the dangerof straining and cracking the glass.

In the particular i'orin shown, l provide elevating or spacing means.rfor the tool f they may be secured by screws 34 so that the"improvement may be attached to any of the `L0 tools now in use. It willbe seen that the shoe not only functions as a spacer, but also5 as a'Wearing guide for the driver. Shoes having. bases of differentthickness, may be provided 'to space the points the desired dis- .45tance from Ythe glass.v By tilting the frame,

with the tilting adjusting means previously described, the points may bedriven in spaced relation and also at an angle 'to the parallel, withrespect to the glass. A i'ollower 35, ,provided with a Weight 36, may beVused to force the points downwardly in the. holder il.

yIt is believed that the utility and advan tages of my invention will befully understood from the foregoing description, and while i have hereinshown and described one specific forni of my invention, do not wish tohe limited thereto, except for such limitations as the claims mayimport.

li claim: l

l. In a glaziers point setter, a 'frame provided With a point holder anda supporting leg, tilting means for the supporting legfor tilting theframe, and a driver movable in said tilting means for driving the pointsfrom the holder into the sash at an angle to the glass in accordancewith the angle of tilt ot the frame, substantially as described.

in glaziers point setter, a frame vprovided with a point holder and asupporting leg, a tilting block orsaid leg, means for adjusting saidblock with respect to said leg to tilt the frame, an elevating shoeattached to the holder, and* diiverstructure having one portion slidablebetween said holder and shoe and another portion slidable in said legand block, substantially aS described. n I

3. ln a glazierl'sA point setter, a holder structure having adjustabletilting means, and a driver having one portion slidable in saidstrnetrre'and another port-ion slidable in said nieans substantially asdescribed.

. i. ln a giaziers point setter, a holder for the points ha ving adelivery end, a hardened wearing plate at said end, a shoe forelevating; the holder with. respect to the glass and being secured tothe holder, and a driver slidable between said Wearing vplate and shoeand having bent-up portions engaging said Wearing plate to guide saiddriver to a straight line ci travel, substantially'as described.

in testimony that l elaiin the foregoing as niy own, l hereby aiix mysignature in the presence of tWo witnesses.
